Quick and Easy Bean Soup

3 Cans Blue Runner Creole Cream Style Red Beans
2 Cans Chicken Broth (low salt recommended)
1/2 lb. of sausage (hot or mild) sliced and quartered
1 onion - chopped
1/2 bell pepper - chopped 
1 tbsp garlic powder
Tabasco to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Parsley & Green Onions for garnish

The sausage, beans and broth are salty enough that you don't
need to add salt.

Brown the sausage in a heavy pot.  Add onion & bell pepper and 
saute until onion is soft.

Add the 3 cans of beans, 2 cans of chicken broth and 
garlic powder.  Stir to mix well.

Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 min.

Taste and adjust seasoning with Tabasco and Black Pepper.
Mash some of the beans with a spoon on the side of the pot.

Add Parsley and Green Onion before you're ready to serve.

Serve with French Bread and Butter.
